Venn and Venice R Over

feneyjar.jpg

The trip started early last Saturday morning when we met up in the centre of Reykjavik, Curver fresh from DJ-ing at 5am and Mr E fresh from waking up. We caught the plane to London, and picked up a car to drive to Bristol where we were due to play at the Venn Festival.

We arrived late afternoon in Bristol. Hit the hotel for an afternoon siesta, as one does after having travelled from early morning. Our concert was at the Thekla Social Club, a ship moored in Bristol. A very nice venue indeed. Trabant are playing there later this month. We did our 42.02 minute set, with no technical hitches. It was a good concert for us, and good to play to the audience as this was our first concert in the UK for nearly a year.

The Sunday was an early wake up call and a drive to Heathrow and Gatwick and onwards to Venice, where we were to play at Steingrímur Eyfjörđ's exhibition at the Venice Bianale. His exhibition was very good. We played a two hour set. It had minor hiccups in the beginning, but then we got the mechanisms working. We abandoned doing a normal set within, the other was tremendous enough.

We are back to Iceland. Doing a remix, the Radium concert and other minor twitches.

That's great! I hope to be hearing some new sounds soon from Ghostigital. June is the time to think and do for many, apparently.

The setting of the second picture looks amazing (the one with the chess board in it). Was that an actual event hall? Can I live in it? ;-)

Glad the trip went well. Patiently waiting for the release of the new album (and possible future stateside tour)!

Can't wait to here some new music from you guys... I missed you when you played in Boston the last time, hopefully you can perform in the area again soon!

Is that the bench a few meters down from the Icelandic History Museum (along the lake)?

Hi,
Is there any information yet about the other Icelandic artists, next to Ghostigital, who'll perform (confirmed) @ the Belgian festival "Iceland on the Edge", 30. April 2008 ???
Wasn't it supposed to be(come) "a Bad Taste Weekend" ???
Take care,
Wim "I love Icelandic Music" Van Hooste, Belgium.
Please
